The "Effortless Music-Making!" Course Benefits Include:

How Much Do You Value
Your Time and Energy?

The Art of Freedom and the Alexander Technique can save you hours, months...YEARS! of frustration and time wasted in the practice room... and literally THOUSANDS of dollars over time. I'm TOTALLY SERIOUS.

Think about it... how many lessons have you taken on your instrument? And how many hours have you practiced?

Over the years (or months, if you're a beginner), you've put in a lot of time and effort learning how to make music. You've worked HARD, because you LOVE music and you really want to get GOOD at what you LOVE to do!

But what have you been focusing on?

Out of all of those hours of hard work, how much time did you actually spend focusing on WHAT IS TRULY IMPORTANT - which is, of course, your total well-being, and THE SOURCE of effortless music-making?

And how mindful has your practicing been? How much time have you spent...

• Worrying and criticizing and judging yourself... and how much more time and energy have you put into trying to be positive... while feeling like what you do is just never quite good enough?
• Fervently "hoping" that THIS TIME you'll get it right... but then when you get to your lesson or walk onstage, your technique is inconsistent and everything falls apart?
• Wasted with mindless, repetitive practice that has just re-inforced bad habits over and over and over, so that you end up having no idea how to get rid of that tension in your neck/shoulders/arms, so you can just relax while you play?

Have you been listening to your body? How often have you...

• Wished a rehearsal would end sooner than scheduled because your mind is wandering or your body is aching?
• Practiced despite back pain, sore shoulders, or other aches and pains, because you feel guilty if you don't?
• Endured physical discomfort? Maybe you've even spent money on pain-killers, muscle relaxants, drugs to calm your nerves... or doctor's visits? 

Research shows that a huge percentage (over 80%) of orchestral musicians suffers from work-related pain, anxiety, or depression. That means more visits to doctors, massage, chiropractors, more medication, and potential lost income due to missed work. 

You don't want to lose thousands of dollars in that kind of a scenario... but it's all too common.

You can prevent this!!

The good news is that no matter your background, and no matter how frustrated you might feel at times, the techniques I'm going to teach you can help!  

When I was a teenager, I was extremely successful as a musician. I won prestigious competitions, and performed as a soloist in Carnegie Hall and around the world. But I always felt like SOMETHING WAS MISSING in my technique. I could never quite put a finger on what it was, and my teachers just gave me more and more specific pointers about what to do with my hands... but nobody could really get to the root of the problem because it was too subtle.

Decades later, I experienced one breakthrough after another while learning the Alexander Technique. I now realize that the deep understanding I've gained about how the mind-body-Self coordinates was what was missing. I only wish I had known these things when I was first learning my instrument, because it would have saved me SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY over all these years!!

I want to help save YOU all that wasted time, and minimize your struggle. I will help you see where your gaps are, and wake you up to what's actually possible. I want to teach you what I've learned so that you can start enjoying your music-making with the same kind of Ease and Joy that I do now!

Once you understand HOW to think more constructively and dissolve unnecessary tension that is BLOCKING your progress, you may be stunned by how much more meaningful and enjoyable your practice sessions are, and how much you can get done in very little time.

You will not only be able to save huge amounts of time and heartache, but potentially large amounts of money, as you spend less on remedies to heal things that shouldn't be going wrong in the first place! You may even reduce the money you spend on private lessons over the long haul.

If I were to teach you all of these things PRIVATELY and IN-PERSON, you'd have to invest much more than $2,000. But you'd also miss out on the great community experience, which is worth SO much more!! 

The Alexander Technique is time-tested and has been proven effective by scientific research.* 

The Alexander Technique has been around for OVER A CENTURY. Famous artists around the world rely on it, and careers have been saved because of it. The Alexander Technique is even REQUIRED for students at prestigious schools like Juilliard!

Of course, the Alexander Technique has never been a "quick fix".  Learning any valuable skill (like a language or new instrument) takes dedication, concentration, and repetition over time. I can only make the big claims I'm making in this invitation because I know from personal experience - my own and my students' - that these methods work - when you're committed to doing the work for yourself and seeing it through over time. You'll get out if this course what you put into it - and the community will be there to spur you along with me!

The Art of Freedom ideas WORK! And you have my money-back guarantee... so you really have nothing to lose. I'm here to help you, and I can hardly wait to welcome you into an exciting new perspective on being a musician, and to help you be free of pain, tension, and performance anxiety.

So... Are you READY to give yourself the gift of EASE? 
Then, let's dive into "Effortless Music-Making"!
